It seems like the waiting period for the Texas football fan base was longer than it was in reality to get back into the Big 12 Championship Game. That waiting period was nearly a full decade for the Texas football program and its fans. Waiting this long can make any length of time seem like forever for a blue blood program.
To get into its first Big 12 Championship Game since 2009, the Texas Longhorns had to beat the Kansas Jayhawks on the road at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium on Black Friday. As 15.5-point favorites, Texas looked to take this opportunity by the horns and claim a nice momentum building victory by a good margin.
